13.82 - 12.8 Ma

The definition of this interval in the timescale Central Paratethys Stages is taken from the following source:

• M. Harzhauser and W. E. Piller. 2004. Integrated stratigraphy of the Sarmatian (Upper Middle Miocene) in the western Central Paratethys. Stratigraphy 1(1):65-86 view

The top age has been interpolated based on the differences between the ages for international timescale boundaries quoted in the source and the currently accepted ages for those boundaries.

There are intervals in 9 timescales which overlap this one. show
